The present invention, generally speaking, provides methods and apparatus for avoiding saturation of a transistor, with particular application to communications signal amplifiers. In accordance with one aspect of the invention, feedback circuitry is provided to control a transistor in accordance with a control signal. The combination of current monitor and a threshold comparator detects when the base current of the transistor exceeds a threshold, indicative of the onset of saturation. Feedback control is then modified to prevent saturation.
